Who did Salman say was responsible for the defeat?
The Pakistan captain said, “We started well with the bat but could not finish as we wanted. But some days you have to give credit to other batsmen as well. I think Harry batted brilliantly. Our score was a little less. Then Brook took the match away from us. We tried our best. (On Farhan) I think he has played very well throughout the World Cup. The rest of the batsmen have not played as well as we wanted, but this can happen in the World Cup. (Afridi) He bowled very well today and he is famous for taking early wickets and today also he did the same.
